Thanks, I found the instructions here.

ghost.org/docs/install/ubuntu/

Though I'll need to modify them slightly because I want to run under a subdomain.

Also need to migrate from apache to nginx I think? Yes, my website still uses apache

@mempko No worries!

If you install via npm you can just enter the domain you want so no mods

It's just in the config.prod file

@mempko Also little notice, for me the Mailgun API doesn't really work (still have to fill it out) but I use SMTP for sending mails

Hopefully you won't have this issue

Finally had a moment as set it all up

blog.mempko.com/

I also went with SMTP and it seems to work well!

Thanks, your post encouraged me to switch, and I probably would not have done it otherwise.

This too shall pass.

@vitriolix I self-host so "no costs" on Ghost 😉

Ghost acts like a single page app and I really love that, it's a little limited in overall options and plugins etc but it's worth it

WordPress is super bloated these days and I feel like everyday a new security issue pops up

Besides those two I don't have any other favo CMSes

good point on the self hosting. I'm aiming for as low maintenance as possible though.

I've been checking out Sanity.js which seems cool, but free tier only has 2 public (!) data sets.

Payload looks cool, but free must self host as well.

Maybe the lesson here is I need to self host ;)
